I think back to the time

When I first saw your face

You were walkin across the delta

To your cold and lonely place

You know I took you for a small girl

Really not quite seventeen

Oh Lord but I was wrong oh so wrong

You're like a woman I've never seen

Dark eyed Cajun woman

Where are you comin from

Your soul is in the back woods

They say you never had a home

But I'm gonna know you better

If it takes all night and day

Dark eyed Cajun woman

You'll never get away no no

Now the evenin breeze is blowin

I hear your voice most everywhere

Your cold black eyes

They are dancin in the starlight

Warmin the cold night air

It's so beautiful you know I have to say

Dark eyed Cajun woman

You'll never get away

Now the evenin breeze is blowin

I hear your voice most everywhere

Your cold black eyes

They are dancin in the starlight

Warmin the cold night air

It's so beautiful you know I have to say

Dark eyed Cajun woman

You'll never get away
